Some of my previous posts have discussed yerba mate. It is a neat food to experiment with. I find myself using it to make teas, and it can be put into almost any food. Sometimes I put it into vegetable dishes. Here in the photos below, I am putting it into Campbell’s soups. First I have added 2 tbsp. of yerba mate (with stems) to chicken noodle soup.
And the picture below shows yerba mate in Campbell’s tomato soup.
I had both of these soups together and it made a nice meal. The total of 4 tbsp. of yerba mate is a healthy addition that has many excellent health benefits.
When you’re hungry there is nothing like a tasty wiener sandwich with cheese and mustard. The bread here is high fiber bread, but otherwise this is not the healthiest of meals.
This tea is easy to make. I put a tablespoon of stem less yerba mate into a cup and fill with water. Then microwave it for around 1:20. It makes a healthy and tasty tea.
One can also use a tea bag, although I ingest the tea directly. To me, this adds to the overall effect.
Yerba mate is healthy in many respects, and it is especially good for making teas. Read up on yerba mate on Wikipedia to learn of the many health benefits.
This is a chili that I made fairly recently maybe around two weeks ago. A usual scenario is that I have just gotten back from the local farmer’s market, and want to make a nice vegetable dish.
This is a “robust” chili where there are many kinds of ingredients. There are two kinds of kale, two kinds of onions, peppers, hot seasoning peppers, and beans. When all done, this is a really tasty meal.
I made this omelet about a week ago. It contains an assortment of chopped greens.
I tend to put eggs into vegetable dishes, rather than putting vegetables in egg dishes. I guess you can still call this an omelet though. It tasted great!
Well I just blogged a chili yesterday and here is another one today. I am quite a bit behind in my blogging and I am still publishing work from months to half a year ago (and more). I am probably never going to get caught up, and maybe don’t even want to.
This chili is fairly standard (at least for me) and uses beans, chopped onions, and slices of American cheese.
The onion itself is an amazingly important ingredient. This is present in nearly every one of my chilies.
I am a chili guy and enjoy making chilies, and also enjoy eating them. The chili below is another of the nearly endless variety of things that you can do with this relatively simple hamburger dish. It’s almost not a chili though. It is more like a fried hamburger dish with melted pepper jack cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, and cream of mushroom soup, and some other things. I also mixed in some chopped greens since it is good for the eyes. This time, I also put in some chopped tomatoes (real tomatoes) instead of canned stuff. It’s more expensive, but the end result is a little better. The results with pictures and some discussion are given below.
This is a chili that I made maybe around a week ago. It is similar to many of my chilis, having onions and kale in it. What is slightly different here is that I am using Hunt’s tomato sauce and Bush’s chili beans.
I do lots of weird cooking things. I so happen to have made a really “strange” bagel. Well, I won’t be too embarrassed. I made this bagel several months ago when purple kale was obtainable from the farmer’s market. I then put on cream cheese and added wieners. It was quite tasty. Although the wieners and cream cheese are not the healthiest, this is a tasty meal that one can have probably occasionally.
